The 50-year-old hero’s “devastated” widow, as Trump described her in his speech, advised The Submit this week she refused to take President Biden’s name after the homicide.
“I didn’t speak to Biden,” mother-of-two Helen Comperatore stated Monday from her Pennsylvania residence. “I didn’t need to speak to him. My husband was a religious Republican, and he wouldn’t have needed me to speak to him.”
Corey Comperatore was the Buffalo Township Volunteer Hearth Firm’s chief for a pair years round 20 years in the past earlier than decreasing his position to concentrate on his household, although he remained an lively firefighter.
“He was one in all them guys you needed to enter a hearth with, trigger you knew you have been coming again out,” firm president and 15-year veteran Randy Reamer advised The Submit a day after the rally. “S–t hit the fan, and also you have been coming again out with him.”
“What a high-quality man he was,” an emotional Trump stated Thursday night time earlier than asking the viewers to take “a second of silence in honor of our buddy Corey.”
